According to the researchers of the University of Arizona, the cutting board has more than 200 times bacteria than a toilet. The main source of these bacteria is the raw meat because most of the fecal bacteria originate in the internal organs of an animal.

So basically, even the knife you used on that cutting board is basically holding a large number of those fecal bacteria as well.

How to clean it: Whether you use a plastic or a wooden cutting board, use water and a liquid dish detergent, then soak it in 1 gallon of water mixed with 2 teaspoons of bleach regularly.

*Don’t soak it overnight.

#2 – The food bowl of your pet

If you own a dog that likes to lick the toilet seat, then he is probably picking 295 bacteria/square inch, and when he is licking the inside of his dish, then he is picking 2,110 bacteria/square inch. The worst part about this is that cleaning it the old usual way is not going to help get rid of all the bacteria.

How to clean it: in order to keep your pet healthy, you must wash all the bowls with soap and hot water, then combine salt, baking soda, and warm water. Scrub it all in circles and then rinse it with water.
